A delicate calligraphic script with strongly modulated strokes, hairline upstrokes, and tapered terminals. The letterforms are steeply slanted with tall ascenders and deep descenders, creating an elongated, vertical rhythm and ample white space between strokes. Capitals are expressive and loop-driven, often built from single sweeping gestures with occasional flourish-like entry and exit strokes. Lowercase forms are narrow and streamlined, with compact bowls and a restrained connection style that reads as cursive without becoming densely linked. Numerals follow the same pen-like logic, showing thin-thick contrast and slight curvature that matches the overall slant.
Best suited to short-to-medium settings where its flourished capitals and pen-formed contrast can be appreciated—such as invitations, wedding stationery, labels, boutique branding, and display lines on packaging. It can also work for pull quotes or headings when given generous size and spacing to preserve the fine hairlines.
The overall tone is graceful and intimate, suggesting handwritten sophistication rather than casual note-taking. Its fine stroke work and elongated proportions lend a formal, romantic character that feels suited to ceremonial or boutique contexts.
The design appears intended to mimic a pointed-pen or formal handwriting style, prioritizing elegance, motion, and decorative capital forms. Its narrow, elongated construction emphasizes a refined silhouette and a polished, ceremonial feel.
In text, the contrast and thin hairlines give a crisp, airy texture, while the more decorative capitals can become the focal points of words. The very small lowercase body relative to the tall extenders increases elegance but can reduce presence at small sizes, especially where hairlines and tight interior spaces compete.
